Overview
The Andersons Core 24-6-12 contains micronutrients and iron for super-deep greening. The 24-6-12 formula is balanced to the ideal 4:1:2 ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, making it the perfect all-purpose fertilizer. Unless a soil test shows that you need a nutrient adjustment, the majority of experts and studies say the same thing: apply a 4-1-2 ratio fertilizer for the best results as a regular maintenance application. Core 24-6-12's fine particle size ensures more granules per square foot and more even distribution of nutrients. It is beneficial for all turf types and can be applied at any time during the growing season. Quick and slow-release nitrogen sources provide fast results and continual feeding for up to 6 weeks.

The spreader settings for this product were established using standard equipment available from the spreader manufacturer at swath widths and speeds typically used within the industry. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Spreader settings are intended as a guide and unit calibration should still be performed to ensure proper application rates. They are not intended to replace calibration. The Andersons recommends the use of broadcast spreader for its products.
